When we asked "What does San Francisco still need?" readers had their own suggestions. SFGate commenter "alphaxanon" said: "A boardwalk amusement park with rollercoasters and other thrill rides.
Sorry, Pier 39 just doesn't cut it."

"A world class entertainment resort/casino that would rival anything out of Vegas. Suggestion: buy Alcatraz from the Feds (hey, they need money anyway) and turn it into the coolest entertainment destination ever. Dealers would be dressed as guards, etc." (Suggested by SFGate commenter "sfdragonboy.")

"A decent market like Rainbow Grocery and a farmer's market with local organic produce in the Bayview senior housing area. Fresh and Easy opened and closed within two years." (Suggested by "akristine.")

"Diversity and lower rents. Less of the so-called 'up and coming' and more restrictions on remodeling buildings to make them look like something unattractive. That's what San Francisco needs. (Suggested by "mlanosa.")

"Okay, I'll bite -
We need some way for us non-drivers to get our electronics stuff to the dump. Or, preferably, to some other drop-off place in town.
We aren't supposed to put this stuff in in our garbage, but they sure don't make it easy to do anything else. There isn't even a bus that stops at the dump." (Suggested by "zedly.")

"San Francisco needs multiple High Definition cameras that can be operated by a person online. It would allow us to look at the windsurfers and kite boarders at Crissy Field, look at the Sea Lions at Pier 39, look where the fog line is, etc etc." (Suggested by "FortPointSwell.")

"Ocean Beach and that stretch of the Great Highway to the zoo is an ugly eyesore. A beautification project where palm trees are planted in the median would be nice. Also, those ugly concrete sea walls at Ocean Beach should be replaced with stonework." (Suggested by "qormi.")

"Close off Market Street to motor traffic between 5th Street and Embarcadero. No exceptions." (Suggested by "Nubo.")

"The streets. It is a sad, sorry, pathetic situation for this relatively rich, relatively small city to have its roads be in the unacceptable condition they are in. It affects motorists, bicyclists AND pedestrians." (Suggested by "gwailo_joe.")

"We need a REAL SUBWAY SYSTEM.
Not just a cutesy light rail system that's underground on Market Street and is automated by a 1992 Microsoft operating system.
It shouldn't take an hour to cross our 7 mile wide city." (Suggested by "missiondweller3.")

"What does S.F. need? It needs the BART trains that stay open reasonable hours. One of the number one reasons people want to live in S.F. is so they don't get stranded on Market Street every time they decide to enjoy the nightlife." (Suggested by "Busterfox.")

"A New York style steak house like Peter Luger's...we have absolutely nothing like that here. Wagyu from Alexander's is great and I'm always down for a prime rib but that super seared Peter Luger's style steak is amazing and just absent on the West Coast." (Suggested by "LouderThanGod.")

"CALIFORNIA STREET BART EXTENSION. Connects GG Park, The Presidio and several residential neighborhoods to the Financial District, the airport, and the rest of the BART system." (Suggested by "phs2707.")

"Bocce ball. And those committed to the rigorous conditioning required to turn San Francisco back into the world class bocce ball town that I remember from my childhood. And by 'conditioning' I mean eat the special at Original Joe's at least three times a week and take a three-hour nap every afternoon after 'Dialing for Dollars.' Which reminds me. We need to bring back 'Dialing for Dollars.'" (Suggested by "kurt_t.")
